General Kneffer's Offer Gas Prospectors.
Gen. Fred Kneher one of the last men to
believe that Indianapolis really had genuine
boom on. "Its all in the newspapers" he said
to a Journal reporter ten days ago 'I don't
want to hear people talk about it." He is
verted now. The reporter saw him again yes
terday, and he talked gas and real estate with
more enthusiasm than base ball admirers talk
about the national game. ''Its here" said he,
and there is no use for anybody to try to disbe-

Discouraging Outlook for Coal Dealers.
A coal dealer wandered into the police station
yesterday afternoon, looking depressed. The
first man he accosted was Turnkey AL Taffe.
Have you got blank applications here for po-
stions on the force" he asked.
Yes. sir" said Mr. Taffe. ''Got friend you

How the Trafic Along the Waterway IL
ManaCed-Enormous Fees.

The number of ships in the canal at
the same time is something very great.
Dec. $ last, for example, fifteen steamers
cleared the canal, of which sevcn were
outward bound. The previous day nine
ships cleared, and the day before seven,
so that during the Sth some thirty ships
Were probably ct one time in the canal.
Sometimes there are as many as forty,
and all are under the control Of the
French gentleman sitting at his desk in
an upper chamber at Terreplcin. The
method Of working is excessively simple.
Against the wall at one side of the room
is a narrow shelf or platform. along
which runs a groove. At intervals this
trough or groove has deep recesscs. and
at two places these recesses are Of larger
size. This trough or groove represents
the canal. The recesses are the sidings.
The larger intervals are the Great Bitter
lake and Lake Timsoh.
When a vessel ahout to enter the canal
at, say, the Suez end. a small toy boat OF
modfl three or four inches long is chosen
torepresent her. Agroupof these model
ships stands ready beside the model canal,
each furnished with a flag. About forty
have the English flag. ten or a dozen the
FrencI flag, and so ON with other nation
alities. As the steamer comes up and
her name is known it is written ON paper
and placed on the toy boat, The whole
numlerO Of ships thus actually in the canal
at any moInent can be seen at a glance;
and, as the Geographic signals give no
tice, the toy boats are moved along, or
placed in a siding. or shown ~traversing
one Of the lakes at full speed Signals
are sent from the office TO the various
''garcS' prescribing the siding ut which
each ship must stop 10 let another meet
and pass il. The official who is on duty
keeps the models moving rs lac receives
notice, taking care when perhaps two
ships, going in opposite directions. are
both nearing the same siding TO give
timely warning 10 the pilots in charge by
means Of the signal balls and flags at
each station under his control from the
office. and 10 direct which Of the two Is
to lie uP and which To- proceed.
Barring accidents. the whole arrange
ment goes like c~lOckwOrk; the clerk can
read of in a moment the anne tonnage,
nationality, draught and actual situation
Of every steamer; he can tell what pilot
she has on board. what is her breadth Of
beam, what rate she is moving at. and
everything else which has to lie known
about her; and he is able without an
effort 10 govern all her movements, to
prescribe the place where she is to pass
the night and the hour at which she is to
get under way in the morning, although
he does not see her and probably never
saw her in his life. The fees which YES
sells pay for passing through the canal
are often enormous. Some Of the large
liners Of the Peninsular and Oriental, OF
the Orient service pay as much as 81, 500
in making a single transit. For every
passenger half a napoleon, or eight shil.
lings and %fourpence, is charged. Three.
fourths of the ships that go through the
canal are English Saturday Review.

joyed under territorial constitutions
framed and prescribed for them by
the federal Congress. and when they
became states II was by the permission
Of Congress. which admitted them
under such conditions and terms a. II
deemed proper under the constitution,
so that the forces which had been so
long agitating the country eliminated
in war, the relation of the states to the
federal government had become al
most the reverse Of what II was at the
birth of the republic. In 1889 the
states were the creators OF the federal
government; In 1861 the federal gov
eminent was the creator of q large
majority Of the states. In 1883 the
federal government had derived all
the powers delegated To it by tie con-
%stitution from the states; in 1861 a
majority Of the states derived all their
powers and attributes IA states from
Congress under the constitution. In
1889 the people Of the United States
wer, citizens Of states originally sover.
eign and independent; in 1861 n vast
majority of the citizens of the United
States were citizens of states that were
originally mere dependencies of the
federal government. which was the
author aud giver Of their political be-
ing. With all these forces on the side
Of the Union. backed by a majority of
state governments with their reserved
powers, Il was a natural consequence
that the unity and integrity Of the
United States rs u sovereign nation
should be established on the battle
field; that its government should come
out of the conflict with II prestige and
power greater than any on earth; and
that the eleven minority states, after u
resistance a. heroic rs any recorded in
the annals of Greece and Rome.
should succumb to overwhelming
forces.

I lately heard some curious facts re-
specting stage snow, as used in the
Paris theatres. Formerly, the head prop
erty man If each theatre caused his sub
ordinates to manufacture il by cutting
white paper into little bits, but Of late
years the papcrmakers have supplied it in
large sacks, and cut up fine by a mechan-
ical chopper, The M thus prepared is
3 condensed that il has TO be crumbled
between the fingers before il can be used.
OF late the theatres that are Illuminated
by the electric light have given up the
use Of PAPER snow, as the particles ms they
descend are attracted by the flame and
might catch fire; moreover, under the
intense white light il was scarcely visible
and produced no effect. Various substi.
tutes for Iaper have been tried. Whale
bone shayings did very well and were In
expensive. costing only sixty cents a sack.
But the best u all possible limitations Of
snow is found TO he the scraps and clip
pings Of KID left over from cutting out
gloves. They float in the air. descending
with very realistic slowness. and they
cling visibly % the garments Of the actors.
